Default cheap plane

hey guys i have a club fun fly coming up in two weeks and a magnum 46fx with a tower pipe. i have very little money and this is not a permanent plane. does anyone know of a $120 or less arf + shipping, it can be profile or full fuse. i will not spend anymore than that. i was thinking about a magic extra?!?!

Several planes for about $100

Tower Hobbies, Quantum Models, and many others will sell you a 40 size ARF for $120 or less.

You can build a Spad in less than a day for about $15.00. It is a hoverin' flat spinnin' tightloop makin' beotch.

www.spadthothebone.com

this one is called the Spad3D.

Tower Uproar, easiest ARF assembly I've ever done. No cowl to mess with, wing comes in one piece, etc. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXGPG8&P=ML

I have a Magic Extra. Great flying plane. The covering's a bit cheap though. You might want to consider a Hangar 9 Twist for $99.00.
